I think the point is control.
Induction stoves are pretty good for dumping watts into water. However, it's very hard to get a good mid-range temperature. Gas makes it really straightforward to get something cooking at exactly the heat you want.
- pilsetnieks 5y agoMost electric stoves are non-induction.
- pasabagi 5y agoI imagine this will change, though. I would have thought induction hobs are cheaper to produce, since it's just a copper coil and a bunch of power mosfets.
- wikibob 5y agoStrongly disagree. Induction is AMAZING and has wonderful midrange temperature control. Many professional kitchens have switched. Are you sure you’ve used an induction stove and not just a regular electric stove? Glass flat top electric stoves are not usually not induction stoves though they look the same.
- pasabagi 5y agoMaybe just the models I've used? I think I have tried 5 different models in the last few years, from the very cheap, to the relatively pricey, and all were relatively lacking when it came to fine control. I don't think there's any real reason why they shouldn't have fine temperature control - presumably the temperature is controlled by the switching speed of the mosfets in the coils?
